Luke:
The gods are real Like the greek gods Annabeth:
Like the ones you learned about
But weren't paying attention to Luke + Annabeth:
Well, they don't pay attention to you, either All: Especially if you're their kid Grover:
The gods have godly things to do Grover and Silena:
Godly places they need to see Clarisse:
Godly plans they need to make That don't include... Me. All:
Yeah, the Gods are real And they have kids And those kids have issues Issues~ The Boys:
Daddy doesn't love me
And mommy is a god The Girls:
Mommy can't protect me
And daddy is a god ALL: Mommy is too busy and daddy is too busy Busy, busy, busy, busy being a god You never listen to me, you never listen You never listen to me, you never listen, no~ You never listen, but now you're gonna listen 'Cuz it's time you heard our side of the story It's time you heard our story!! Look! I didn't want to be a half-blood I didn't ask to be hero seeking praise Being a half-blood; it's scary. It mostly gets you killed in very nasty ways I didn't want to cause trouble, trouble I'm less a player and more the played And, honestly, I'd be totally be fine
If I could make it to the next grade, next grade It wasn't dirty socks or my stepdad It was danger that I smelled The day it all went down; the day I got expelled Maybe you don't know what a half-blood is because your life is normal and happy and not constantly endangered, but my life? *clears throat* Let me set the scene We were on this freaky field trip. (freaky trip) That's when the story should probably start (ooo) We were geeking out on ancient Greek at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art Stopped by all the statues and learned about the gods with Mr. Brunner and my substitute, Mrs. Dodds Hadn't done nothing wrong
Wasn't rude
Hadn't rebelled On the day it all went down The day i got expelled Chiron: The Greek gods! Almighty Titans of earth, sea, and sky! But even they were children once. And they didn't have it easy! Their father, Kronos, feared the day his children would one day inherit the earth. So what did he do?
Anyone? Anyone? Mrs Dodds: He ate them Chiron: Thank you Mrs. Dodds But one child, Zeus, Escaped and devised a plan to rescue his brothers and sisters. He tricked Kronos into eating a rock and what did Kronos do? Anyone? Any student? Mrs Dodds: He vomited them up Percy: I didn't really get the story At least it wasn't boring as I'd feared But is it deep or is Greek mythology not deeply weird I didn't want to pay attention (pay attention pay attention)
Now I wish I had taken notes
But my focus is in question
And gods and indigestion caused a groan from all our throats Grover: Baaaaaaaaah! Percy: Dude, what was that? Grover: Uhh, nothing! Percy: My best friend was acting strange At which he so excelled The day it all went down The day i got expelled Why do you peanut butter in your hair? Ask Nancy Bobofit. She's a monster! Well, not literally. I don't think. She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you? She threw a peanut butter sandwich at you, I stopped it. With my head. Grover you're a good friend Aww, dude, I'm your only friend Percy Jackson! I knew something was up
When I heard my name get yelled The day it all went down- I saw something odd in Mrs. Dodds' frown The day it all got weird The day I got expelled Mr. Jackson! Mr. Jackson!! Please see me by the sphinx Look... if this is about Nancy Bobofit, she only hates me because I tried to get her to stop wedgie-ing the first graders- I have heard much about you... Percy Jackson. Really? That's very dedicated for a substitute... Kicked out of five schools in six years. One might question your parentage. Hey, don't talk about my mom- And your father? That's right... you don't know who he is! [begins laughing] What's this about anyway? Uh, Mrs. Dodds?
You have something growing on your- [MRS DODDS' laughter become maniacal. PERCY screams] What ho, Percy! Mr. Brunner! What am I supposed to do with a pen- Sword! Woah! [MRS DODDS screams] Mr. Brunner?
Mrs... Dodds? I didn't know what just had happened
Was that all a creepy, crazy dream? My teacher was a creature
Then she vanished in the ether
With a demon scream The next thing that I knew
I was where detention was held The day it all got real
The day I got- Expelled? I tried, Percy, but the headmaster stands firm in his decision. You were supposed to stay with the group. And this was your final warning. But it wasn't my fault, it was Mrs. Dodds! She lured me away, she attacked me, and... you saw it! Did I? And you gave me that pen! Only it wasn't a pen, it was a sword, and...
What? Percy... we've never had a teacher named Mrs. Dodds. Perhaps it's for the best. This wasn't the place for you. It was only a matter of time before- I got kicked out? That's not what I was going to- You think I'm trouble. Just like everyone else. No, but... That is to say... I can only accept the best from you, Percy. Someday you'll understand why. I'm truly sorry. Yeah well, I'm sorry I let you down. Maybe he's right. You never fit in at this school anyway. You're not exactly... normal? Exactly! [Laughs]
I mean, uh, I'll see you on the bus So if you think you are a halfblood
Better get headed to the exits now 'Cause folks will think you're lying
Better run and don't start crying
'Cause you're monster chow Or stick around and maybe you'll learn from me
This ain't Odysseus' Odyssey So hear me out
If you're so compelled But, nobody listens to me
They never listen
Nobody listens to me
They never listen, oh Dude!
You got
Expelled I didn't wanna be a halfblood
I didn't ask to be a halfblood Expelled! Thank you for watching! <3
